Day #16 Journal Tues, July 21, 2015
My sister Samara, Magan, Alisha, and me are in a group together because we have to make a music video in Video production class. We chose to make a video of the song, "You Give Love a Bad Name". I'm very excited to get started because I just know it's going to turn out awesome!
In communications EDU, I also had the stress of finishing my PSA video. But I at least made some progress on it by recording Curissa's voice for it. I also wrote and finished the script.
Tonight I was so glad because I finished my PowerPoint presentation for Communications Speech class tonight--just in time for class tomorrow!
Day #15 Journal Monday, July 20th, 2015
With my final week at UK Summer Academy, I just began my video production class. So far we didn't do much except learning a little about video editing software and how to use it. There really wasn't much to do, so the class ended about an hour and a half early so we went back to our dorms.
In Communications speech class, I was stressed out because it was just yesterday that I discovered I was working on my outline wrong the whole time, so I had to start over and ended up being one of the few that were behind on submitting the outline. But later that day most of my stress was gone because I got to finish almost all of my work, including my tea video.
In the art of acting, we given "boring" scripts to change and modify so that it was turned into a story and made interesting.
I sure hope I can manage to successfully complete all of my projects.

Though I'd woken up at 7am yesterday, today I decided to wake up at 9am because I wanted to sleep a little longer. I would've slept even later than that, but my Mom, Aunt Sharon, and my cousin Sarah were coming to visit me and my sister. We'd been expecting them to arrive here around 11:30 but it wasn't until around 12:15 when they were here. A little sad that we now had about an hour less than intended, I was still happy they came here anyway. It was awhile before we picked a restaurant, but we finally decided on going to O' Charley's. There, I ordered so much food that I had plenty leftover that I ate later.
After that, we barely made it back to Woodlen Glenn in time for the Olympic games. I was very nervous at the time because I knew that I was representing my team for the hula-hoop competition and that there was going to be some tension between me and my sister because we're equally matched. But at the end, I ended up with 2nd, while my sister had 3rd.
As for the final results, my team--the Blue Team--was in first place, that is, until the final event, which the Green Team--my sister's team--won because the last event was worth triple points!
I don't really mind though.....as long as I got to personally beat my sister at something! >:)

Day #13 journal Sat, July 18th, 2015
This morning I woke up at 7am, despite being allowed to sleep until 11:30pm and hardly anyone was awake. With that, I just decided to get my laundry done early before everyone wanted to do theirs all at once. Eventually, a few other students woke up, so we decided to go to breakfast. Later, I had so much time on my hands that I borrowed someone's laptop and watched videos. But now I feel so dumb for wasting my time when I could've been using it do work. But at the time I thought I was done with everything.
Later that night, we had a dance party. It was the most fun I'd had in a long time! With my friends, I danced wildly to about every song until the very end of the party, which--to my surprise--had gotten to be extended to 11:30 because everyone was having so much fun. It was amazing!

-TGIF! Since it's Friday, it is my last day of Turkish class. So today we took our final test and I was surprised to know that I remembered more vocab words than I thought I would. During our final day, we also made a Skype call with one of Fahti's--my Turkish instructor---friends, so that we could learn firsthand from another person about Turkey and its culture.
One bad thing that happened was that our tea video had gotten deleted the morning after we finished it due to the wi-fi messing up in our dorm building! So we have to start it over again...
-In World of Music class, we played the drums outside.
-In the Art of Acting, we observed people and saw how they moved and what part of their body they "lead with" to see if we can discern what it means and what kind of person they may be. Then we drew a picture of them, really emphasizing how they lead themselves.
-In EDU speech I am writing a rough draft for my final speech

-In photography class, I took many interesting pictures outside. Perspective pictures, close up pictures of trees, plants, the sky, and even a picture of a dog. I'm troubled in this class by the fact that I really haven't been getting much of anything done. I have three weeks of lectures to watch, but I didn't get to watch any of them because I'd brought no technology and no headphones to at least watch them in the library. I hope I will be able to complete them soon though.
-In EDU class, I was very relieved to find out that I didn't have to write an essay after all, because I hadn't finished mine. But instead I had to make an outline/storyboard for my group's PSA video. Though, I'm not quite sure how it'll turn out because one person already left from camp and can no longer be in the video.

-In world of music class today, me and three other students got to drum the hardest part of the song we played.
-In Creativity and the Art of Acting class, we played a game to thoroughly learn and be more aware of the space going on around us.
-In EDU Speech class, I presented my demonstration speech on How to Draw a Cartoon Bunny Rabbit. I wasn't as nervous as I thought I'd be and turned out to present much better than I did before. The only think I still have to be aware of is my speaking too quietly.
-Turkish went well, but earlier I'd been very upset because I'd accidentally broken the teacup I was supposed to use in a video or Turkish class! But I later found out that it wasn't very valuable and that I could've bought a new one. Also in Turkish we wrote a list of over 30 vocab words in Turkish. I was nervous that we had to remember them all.
